It’s true – albeit a minor league deal.
If this were March of 2001, I would be worried. But, it’s not. This is just the Red Sox throwing a Hail Mary. I’m sure that the members of RSN will say it’s Theo being a genius – because of the risk/reward ratio. But, in reality, that’s like saying that the people who keep casting Ben Affleck are geniuses too.
Eh, it couldn’t hurt to take a flyer on him. It is a “hail mary” as you say, but there really isn’t any downside to the deal. He has something left, he plays, if he doesn’t, he gets cut, or plays out the string in Pawtucket.
